The National
Damn.
This is what I said the first time I listened to Guilty Party, the new single from The National. Combine it with their previous gem, The System Only Dreams In Darkness, and you’ve got two really good reasons to be more than just excited for their upcoming album, Sleep Well Beast (due September 8). Side note, you should slap on headphones before you hit play. Enjoy.
Back to your preface on “The System Only Dreams in Darkness” about a gray area for The National, that track is great, this is a dirge and unwelcoming. I love them when they are on, bored with them when they are not. This is boring.
